Lent is a forty-day liturgical season dedicated in a special way to fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. Fasting is a symbolic expression of our self-offering to God and of our detachment from all the transitory material things in this world (like food) in order to become open for spiritual values and to see clearly what really counts in life. In a word, fasting means to thirst and hunger for God. Prayer means reflecting on these questions – How’s my relationship with God? With others? How will I grow close to God during these forty days? Is there something I can’t give up which is hurting my relationship with God, with my family and friends? Are my values and priorities in proper order? Almsgiving means getting personally involved with the poor and compassionately helping them alleviate their plight.
As we begin this holy season let us ask the Lord to renew us and give us new hearts filled with love and compassion that we may embrace his will more fully in our lives and that we may respond with compassion to those in need.

Vanmiddag ben ik de Waal nu eens niet per trein maar te voet overgestoken, over de Snelbinder van Nijmegen naar Lent.
At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty. That was then the “worst” death. Only the worst criminals could die like Jesus. And with Jesus things were worst, because not all the criminals condemned to death could receive nails on their hands and feet. Of course, nails… Big nails! Each was 15 to 20 cm long, with a point of 6 cm. The nails were craved into the pulses, and not into the palms, as we are used to hear.. In the pulse, there’s a tendon which extends till the shoulder, and when the nails were being hammered, that tendon broke, obliging Jesus to reinforce all the muscles of his back, so that he could breath as He was loosing all the air from his lungs. In this way, He was forced to support Himself onto the nail craved in his feet, which was bigger than those craved into his pulses, for both feet were craved together. And, as his feet could not endure for a long time without tearing, Jesus was forced to alternate that “cycle” so that He could breath. Jesus endured that reality over 3 hours. Yes, over 3 hours! Long time, isn’t it? Few minutes before He died, Jesus was not bleeding anymore. He was simply pouring water from his cuts and holes. When we imagine Him injured, we only picture Him with injuries, but it is not enough; His wounds were true holes, made in his body… He had no more blood to bleed, He only poured water. Human body is composed of near 3.5 litres of blood (for adult). Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails …
